More precisely, it occurs for floating-point data formats in which the
most significant mantissa bit is not "hidden".
- It does not occur with IEEE 754 'float', 'double'.
- It occurs with the 80-bit 'long double' on i386, x86_64, ia64.
- It does not occur with the 128-bit 'long double' on ia64/HP-UX.
